I should have been more clear - I wasn't suggesting you need to test and 
reproduce on sequoia first - we just need a stack with a button which 
has the initial contents of the popup context menu in it, then on 
mouseDown it rewrites it to the new version (i.e. emulating what is 
happening). We can then see if that crashes and if so we have a recipe 
without you having to setup Sequoia - if it doesn't then more work will 
be needed to establish a recipe.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
